[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted Pages]] &mdash; I recently found out that this page exists (after a few years of playing). Think it could be a good featured article for the next month and encourage new posts. -- [[User:Terezka|Terezka]] ([[User talk:Terezka|talk]]) 17:46, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

[[Cash Cow]] a new gold addition (see what i did there?) to the godwiki that was sneakly written by OELLEx. --[[User:WardPhoenix|WardPhoenix]] ([[User talk:WardPhoenix|talk]]) 13:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

: On this one... I agree it might be good if we did more to highlight [[Special:WantedPages]]. (Though [[JanuWiki 2019]] is doing a great job of encouraging article creation in general!) But I'm tempted to argue that the "not eligible" rule should be extended to Special: pages — as well as Category:, Template:, all the non-article namespaces. Mostly because of the ''format'' of the Featured Article box. The Featured box on the main page doesn't just name / link to the subject, it's meant to display a snippet of the content, to give readers a taste of what they'll find.

: On a ''practical'' level, there's no way to do that with Special: pages since their content is dynamically-generated; there's literally no wikicode to cut-and-paste into the template! But also, from an aesthetics standpoint, even if we could... I don't know how great it would look, having a box full of redlinks on the [[Main Page]], you know?

: But we should try to come up with ideas for how we can highlight [[Special:WantedPages]] on the [[Main Page]] in some ''other'' way, to increase its visibility. -- [[User:FeRDNYC|FeRDNYC]] ([[User talk:FeRDNYC|talk]]) 04:18, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

History of Featured Articles

Before September 2017 no changes were made to the Featured Article for several years. I've compiled the history since 2017 of the Featured Articles to:

Recognise gods for making good (chosen) nominations;

Recognise editors for keeping the featured article fresh(ish);

Keep an easy reference of what articles have already been featured in case of duplicate nominations; and

Give insights into what kinds of articles are being featured, to inform good choices by editors and nominators about what isn't getting attention.

When removing a newly featured article from the nominations list, please add the change to the table. Be sure to use {{god|extended=yes|Godname}} to give easy access to talk pages. The YYYY-MM-DD date format means that table sorting works for chronological order. -- Djonni (talk) 12:34, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
